one day when several Of the bohemians
were gathered in a deserted house and were
trying in various ways to kill time. All
classes of subjects were brought up and dis
cussed, and among others Shakespeare was
placed on the tapis. Somebody quoted
something from the bard, and some other
correspondent denied the CORRECTNESS of the
rendering. After q good deal of talk it was
noticed that Keim was silent.
"How is it, Keim:" was asked by some

The Art of Rising EarIy.

b proper time to rise is when sleer
ends Doing should not be allowed. True
sleep is the aggregate of sleeps. or is a state
consisting in the sleeping or rest of all the
several parts of the organism. Sometimes
one and at other times another part Of the
body, as a whole, may be the least fatigued.
and so the first to awake. or the most ex-
hausted, and therefore tie most difficult to
arouse. The secret of good sleep is, the
physiological condition of rest being estab-
ished, so to work and weary the several
parts of the organism as to give them a pro-
portionately equal need of rest at the same
moment. And to wake early, and feel
ready to rise, a fair and equal start of the
sleepers should be secured; and the wise
self manager should not allow a drowsy
feeling of Inconsistencies, or weary senses,
or an ea hausted muscular system. to beeuile
him into the folly of going to sleep again
when once he has been aroused. After a
few days OF self discipline, the man who re-
solves not to doze, that is, not to allow some
sleepy part of his body to keep him in bed
after his brain has once awakened, will find
himself. without knowing why, an early
riser. -Boston Budget

Practical Joking BY Win.

Scientific people have Just bad a serious
disappointment. When. 100 years ago, Sir
John Sloane was gathered to bis fathers, be
left directions in his will that a certain
cupboard in his museum should not be
opened for the space of q century. Ever
since then the cupboard has attracted as
much attention as that against which the
late Mrs. Blue Beard was cautioned. Many
have been the speculations as to its contents.
The museum has already q chamber of hor-
rors, which very few of the professional
public and not a great many others have
had the opportunity of exploring: and, it
was thought that the mysterious cupboard
must contain something wonderful A few
days ago the centenary came round, and in
the presence of trustees and lawyers, the
long closed receptacle was opened. And
what was found, No horrible examples,
no curious mummies, no grinning skeletons,
but simply a parcel OF old letters and papers
of no interest whatever to any one but him
who placed them there. The disgust of the
savants may be imagined. and the conclusion
outsiders have arrived at is that the late Sir
John was a bit of a practical joker London

News Items from the HOLY Land.

The introduction of soap, it is said, is doing
much to civilize the people of the Holy Land.
Alarge soap factory has been established on
the site OF ancient Shechem, and the people
are beginning to use it on their persons in
stead of trying to eat it, as they did at first.
Along with the introduction of soap other
reforms are going on Bethlehem has been
rebuilt, and the streets are lighted with gas.
Ceseraa is having a building boom. Maze
reth is becoming the headquarters of big
olive oil SPECTATORS. Corner lots in Joppa
are going up with a rush. and real estate in
Mount Carmel is largely held by Spectators
for an advance. All around Shechem there
is a lively demand for good soap fat, and the
sleepy inhabitants of Ramoth Gilead think
OF building a glue factory. Jerusalem is
waking up also. 1t has a street cleaning
bureau, big clocks IN its public buildings,
and its suburbs are being built up rapidly.

land has gone up.-Chicago Herald.

things sink into a child's memory. II this
be thought of it is plain there is more lowell

when it is granted; nor shall you be able to

slant in a young creature. I have heard of

her brother, said: ''This little hand never
suuck me-" Surely a memory richer and
falrer than If she could recall a thousand
repentances for blows! When this is not
only negative but positive, so that one can
say: "These eyes always beamed and showed

THE COUNTY POOR.

Many citizens, and influential ones too
frequently sign applications to the Count,
Commissioners for the admission OF partie.
to the charity OF the county. They do thi.
with the best intentions, supposing the ap
plicants to be worthy and unable t. gain E
livelihood by manual labor. In too many
instances they are deceived and the Com
m~issioners, taking it for granted that the
signers were acquainted with the facts in
the case, have sent them to the Sisters to
be taken care OF and fed at the expense oil
the county. The result is that a large mum.
Der OF leeches is being fastened upon
the county. A day or two ago a man who
had been admitted 70 the Sisters Hospital
as a pauper died, having $4,000 concealed
on his person. We are informed that this
case does not stand by itself.
It is not commended that the commission
ers cannot be imposed upon nor signers Of
applications be deceived by sordid minded.

elsewhere than on his person. The only
course left open by which the county can
be protected from imposters is for our citi-
zens to refuse to sign any petition for the
admission at any party to the Sisters
Hospital unless they know beyond the
shadow OF doubt that the applicant is un
able to earn q livelif God. This is the only
nP0foNfrnn tho o4,trtv I,- -
time. OF course the commissioners may
refuse applicants but a refusal places
those officers in a very embarrassing posi-
ton inasmuch as a denial OF the petition
ers' prayer would provoke adverse criti
cism and possibly be an act of injustice to
deserving poor.
Another course suggests itself, and that
is Tor the Commissioners to erect as soon
as possible buildings upon the poor farm
and send the INDECENT applicants to that
place. II such buildings were at the dis
posal OF the county, the applications to
enter it would be far less than they now
are for a home and board in one of the
finest, cleanest and best conducted estab-
lishments in the West. The Sisters take as
gooo care OF the pauper who is sent by the
county to their hospital as they do Of
Others who pay their own way. This mat
ter. however, has already been mentioned
by The MINER, but reference is again made |
to it for the purpose OF showing the abso-
ute necessity OF a radical change being
made in the care and maintenance OF
county paupers. A charge of nearly $685.
